THE GREATEST
PREPARE TO FIGHT
DREAD INFLUENZA.
Physicians Unable to Control Disease.
Dr. J. A. Hayne, State Health of'
ficer, says that very soon plans will
have been finished to meet any emer
gency should there be an epidmic
of influenza in this or any of the
Southern States.
At a recent meeting of the State
health officers Dr. Ennioh G. W.lliams,
State commissioner of health
of Virginia, Dr. W. S. Rankin, State
health officer of North Carolina and
Dr. J. A. Hayne, State health officer
of South Carolina, were appointed a
committee to prepare plans to combat
any epidemic of influenza should
such occur.
All physicians ready for service will
be enrolled and so will be the trained
nurses and those who have taken Re^
Cross training. When the plans are
complete they will be filed for immediate
use.
Dr. Hayne says that the state is
not now free from influenza. Three
cases have been reported from Abbeville
County in the last month, and
one or two other cases have been reported.
-2 tJtfyi.
Dr. Hayne, when asked what preventive
measures should be taken,
said that the people could judge o.'
that when they understood that influenza
was what is known as a
"spray bone" disease. It is spread by
exhalations in the breath. As explained
by him in breathing a person
makes minute exhalations to the distance
of about five feet. These exhalations
when taken into the lungs
of others cause infection. Persons
should be careful to sneeze into their
handkerchiefs and in coughing should
cover their mouths. Protection from
influenza may be had onl therefore
in staying away from crowued assemblages,
and in the use of proper gargles
and sprays.
In hir. address t0 the South Carolina
Medical Association, Dr. Hayne
said:
"I do not know that we are much
better off than the Italians were in
the 17th century, who ascribed influenza
to the influence of the stars.
It is also ascribed to earthquakes
and volcanic eruptions. It has appeared
at sea far away from communications
with land. This occurred
t0 Admiral Richard Kempenfelt. We
note also being epidemics, one in 1847
which lasted about eight years, and
another one in 1890, and it seems to
prevail independently of climate, season
or weather. It has nothing to do
with a bad cold, but is an acute
specific fever of unknown origin."
Dr. J. Hevward Gibbs in a paper
printed in The Journal of the Soath|
Carolina Medical Association says:
"One would think that in approxmately
400 years the lay mind would
have been robbed of some of its mystification
and superstitution associate^
with the outbreaks of influenza
and that the medical profession
would be unfailing in its recognition
and somewhat proficient in its control.
But such distinction can not be
justly claimed. The very term 'influenza'
implies ignorance and fear being
simply the Italian equivalent for
influence; and the same may be ?aid
of the French designation of the disease(
lagrippe. Peculiar atmospheric,
conditions, meteoroligic and tellugic
influences and the idea of a providential
affliction upon a wicked world,
which represent the gropings explanatory
efforts of previous centuries
have given place to thought of a
poison disseminated by German activities,
and fears of a worldwide
epidemic of a bubonic plague in our
20th century. The records of our army
camps and our bureaus of vital statistics
too plainly establish the futility
of our efforts of control.?The
State.

DON'T GIN COTTON
WHILE IT IS GREEN.
Commissioner Harris Gives Farmers
Some Good Advice.
Columbia, S. C., Aug. 14.?Commissioner
Harris has gone to Oklahoma
to deliver a series of addresses
in that state in the campaign to organize
the American Cotton Association.
Before leaving Mr. Harris gave
out a statement in which he advises
the farmers not to rush their cotton
to the gin, and he advances his reasons
there for.
"I wish to urge the farmers" says
Mr. Harris, not to gin the first picking
of cotton while it is green. If
they will pick it and put it away in
a house and let it stay there for four
?? #i..~ ...in

get heavier and it will make a much 1
better sample. The ginners* report I
will not be so big and it will have a I
good effect on the market, both for
cotton and seed.
"I wish to beg the farmers not to |
sell until the price goes above Go ,
cents. I have examined quite a good
deal of cotton and I find that it has
been drowned by too much rain and
it cannot recover. By the 2oth of this)
month deterioration will be great al
-vomrl
M ClAlVt
SALE EVER HELD
though it may not be noticeable in the
next government condition report.
"A great deal of cotton is now turn- 1
ing yellow and is shedding the young
fruit. The cotton crop is going to be
the shortest according to acreage than
it has been in many years. j
"Now the situation is entirely in the f
farmer's hands, as to what price he (
will take for what he has on hand j
and for what he grows this year. As 1
tothe 6,8000,000 surplus we read t
[about in Secretary's Hester's report, t
[it can't be found. We knew that the i
bears would make desperate effort to j
drive the market down just as the f
new crop was getting on the market, i
They have sold October very heavy i
and they know that they will be call- i
ed for delivery of actual cotton. Just f
remember they don't spin board cot- t
ton. "Again I say, sit steady in the t
boat. Don't be bothered about these
fluctuations, and keep your new cot- t
ton out of the gin and your old cotton
out of the market and things will
come right for the farmer."
o
SALT FOR HOGS.
Clemson College, August 20 ?
T^iere has been a great prejudice
among hog feeders against the use
of salt in the ration, says D. W. Williams,
of the Extension Service ani
mal husbandry division. Many feed- c
ers believe that the results will be ^
fatal if a hog is allowed e liberal j
quantity of salt. During the past few *
years this idea has been entirely dis- r
aproved. Feeding tests conducted at
Beltsville, Md., at the Iowa Experiment
Station, and at other stations 0
have shown beyond a doubt that the v
cheapest gains were made where the ?
salt was self-fed. Many feeders use ?
salt i na mineral mixture, with char- ?
coal, wood ashes, lime and copperas. ?
However, the quantity of salt In this s
mixture is usually not sufficient, and y
feeders would do we^ *? fee(* salt in ?
a box by itself where it would always
be available. There is some danger in y
feeding salt in large quantities when ?
the enimals are not accustomed to '
it. The amount fed should be small
at first and gradually increased sr
that there will be no danger of the '
hogs overeating on this feed. J

War Department Issue Final Casualty !!
List. 1
a
Washington, Aug.?Final casual- *
ty reports fro mthe central records (
office of the American expeditionary
forces in France, made public by the *
war department today, gave the total
battle deaths as 49,480, total wounded
205,790 and prisoners _,4S0. Only
slight revisions will be made in
inis report, it was announced. I
Recent corrections in the list of 14
missing have reduced the number to,
only 128 names, as compared with
274,000 for France and 121,000 for
England. To July 1 the army had
reported 140,433 cases of disabled
soldiers to the war risk insurance bureau.
It was estimated that the final
total would be close to 200,000.

Orangeburg Farmers Organize.
Clemson College, August 16. ?
Orangeburg County farmers are giving
further evidence of their progressiveness
in the movement to organize
a livestock marketing association, the
first of its kind in South Carolina.
F. L. Harkey, field agent in marketing,
has just returned from
Orangeburg, where he and H. S. Johnson,
district agent, and D. W. Williams,
extension animal husbandman, .
took pert in a meeting of farmers on
August 13th to discuss and take preliminary
steps in the organization,
which was suggested by L. S. Wolfe,
county agent.
The plan is to have a stock company
with a capital stock of say $5.000,
and a paid manager who will
sell all kinds of livestock and serve
the organization in various ways to
promote the livestock industry and
the interests of the stockholders and
tne people as a whole. Another meeting
is to be held August 25th to perfect
the organization, at which there
will be present representation from
several adjoining counties. An organization
expert from the U. S. Bureau
of Markets will attend to help in the
work.

DOES YOUR BACK ACHE?
It's usually a sign of sick kidneys
specially if the kidney action is dis
irdered, passages scanty or too fre[uent.
Don't wait for more serious
roubles. Begin using Doan's Kidney
Mils. Read this Dillon man's testinony:
W. H.. Stackhouse, 34 Hampton
!t., says: "My kidneys were in a disirdered
condition and the secretions
trere highly colored and contained
ediment. I suffered constantly with
tackache and pains across my loins,
f I sat down for a while, I could
lardly get up. If I lifted anything, a
harp pain would catch me and I
irould have to give up. I used differnt
remedies but got no relief until
tried Doan's Kidney Pills which
irere recommended to me. I got them
t the Evans Pharmacy and aftet- usng
them a short while all my trouile
disappeared."
The above statement given March
!, 1908, and on January 29, 1918,
Jr. Stackhouse said: "My opinion of
loan's Kidney Pills has not changed
ince I gave my recommendation in
.908. Whenever my kidneys don't
,et just right a few doses of Doan's
Sidney Pills, which I keep on hand,
ilways quickly relieve me. I am glad
o confirm my former statements."

SMOKING TOBACCO >
* FACTS FROM THE
RN ENCYCLOPAEDIA
The Use of Flavorings Determines
Difference In Brands
The Encyclopedia Britannica says
about the manufacture of smoking tobacco:
"... on the Continent and in
America, certain 'sauces' are employed
. .the use of the 'sauces' is to improve
the flavour and burning qualities of the
leaves." Which indicates that a smoker's
enjoyment depends as much upon the
flavoring used as upon the tobacco.
Your nose is a sure guide in the matter
of flavorings. Try this simple test
with several tobacco brands: pour some
tobacco into your palm, rub briskly,
and smell. You wiil notice a distinct
difference in the fragrance of every
brand. The tobacco that smells best to
you will smoke best in your pipe, you
can rest assured. * *
Carefully aged, old Burlev tobacco,
plus a dash of pure chocolate, gives
TUXEDO Tobacco a pure fragrance
your nose can quickly distinguish from
any other tobacco. Try it and see*
